Gion Shrine Summer Festival
July 15 was the Gion Shrine’s summer festival⛩
We covered the Morimaki ritual held before the ceremony📷
They shaped the makaya grass gathered that morning into the form of Yamata no Orochi💪
Makaya is stiff, and twisting large amounts at once is a real challenge😅
Still, the Morimaki Ritual Preservation Society finished it with impressive skill✨
The amazake prepared overnight also turned out exceptionally tasty this year😆
There were many more visitors this year, which made us happy😁
The local community cherishes their “Gion-san”
It will surely continue together with the community going forward🥰
